In 2021, New York City adopted Local Law 154, which sets an air emissions limit for indoor combustion of fuels within new buildings. Under the law, the burning of “any substance that emits 25 kilograms or more of carbon dioxide per million British thermal units of energy” is prohibited. That standard effectively bans gas-burning stoves, furnaces, and water heaters, and any other fossil-fuel powered appliances. Instead, real estate developers have to install electric appliances like induction stoves and heat pumps. The policy went into effect in 2024 for buildings under seven stories, and will apply to taller buildings starting in 2027.

It's staying legal for restaurants though, right? I know a lot of home chefs that are going to be buying old homes for sure if this goes nationwide.

I don't know about NYC restrictions, but i think the only thing that gets implemented in NYC first and then at a national level is police corruption and a complete lack of accountability for abuse of power

Just get an induction range. They are excellent.
